Are sperm cells human?

[fantome profane]

If you agree that sperm cells are human, do they deserve human rights?

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman's vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.

A sperm cell has the potential to become a fully functioning human tax payer, but only if it is deposited in the correct place. Should masturbation be considered mass murder?

Why does this remind me of Legally Blonde?

Elle: "Although Mr. Huntington makes an excellent point, I have to wonder if the defendent kept a thorough record of every sperm emission made through out his life."

Professor Callahan: "Interesting. Why do you ask?"

Elle: "Well, unless the defendant attempted to contact every single one night stand to determine if a child resulted in those unions, he has no parental claim over this child whatsoever. Why now? Why this sperm?"

Professor Callahan: "I see your point."

Elle: "And for that matter, all masterbatory emissions where his sperm clearly was not seeking an egg could be termed reckless abandonment."

Professor Callahan: "I believe you've just won your case."*

The embryo has the potential of becoming a human or has the genetic characteristic in potential to be a human...not a sperm cell by itself...

 

[Quintessence]

Yes, they're human. No, they are not persons with agency deserving of ethical consideration. Non-human animals, plants, and rocks deserve more ethical consideration than the haploid stage of a human life (or the embryonic diploid stage for that matter).

 

[ChristineES]

No. You can't compare sperm or ova to a embryo or fetus.

If sperm cells are indeed human, then they deserve human rights. But I dont think sperm qualifies the definition of a HUMAN. And if sperm does not qualify for being human then masturbation is not considered murder.But once the sperm and egg is fertilized then it is where life starts, so, abortion is a sin.

Using human as an adjective, yes. Just like my spit is human saliva and maybe some human mucus.

I'm so glad that I'm a woman - I can mastrubate as much as I like.

Friend f p,

Personal understanding:
Since:

For a conception one ovum and millions of sperm are required. The one ovum is worth as much as all those millions of sperm. A man with less than 20-40 million sperm in an ejaculation is barren. Such great numbers are necessary because most sperm do not reach the ovum. Also, for a conception more than one spermatozoon is necessary.
The ovum is alone and the sperm are with millions. One sperm cell is nothing, one ovum determines everything. One is polar to millions. One comprises everything, it is all there is, whereas the millions of sperm cells are infinitive, have no importance on their own.

So you can see that the millions of sperm cells are not having the potential in reality.
Next up: Meditators understand the potentiality of what you have mentioned as it is energy and so the same energy is utilized in the other direction for the use of existence itself meaning that sperm or eggs are energy which is ejected out of the body is used in meditation to travel up the chakras to reach the final crown chakra and the individual is said to have merged with existence where no more further human birth through evolution is no more.

I'm guessing you mean "egg" and not "eye" here. Otherwise you're describing something very different to conception

The question behind the question is, what validates human rights in the first place?

'Potential' is a slippery slope, I mean what's to say that deciding not to go for a night out means I don't meet the girl, who I would get pregnant etc etc. Potential life prevented from occurring due to my actions, I mean that basically applies to all of my life so far.
As for sperm, I mean millions upon millions fall by the wayside anyway. Its normal to loose cells, just as you do when you scratch your arm.
Also I see no solid reason that morally obligates a man to always try and create life full stop. No more so with his fairly limitless supply of sperm than his behaviour or how he spends his free time.

I think there is a significant difference when we start talking about viable foetuses, only because the ball has already started rolling, and this child would now be born provided there are no problems. The active intervention is to end something that already is. Of course I'm not anti abortion, it's just moral considerations always tend to boil down to our degree of emotional connection and empathy coupled with adjunct reason. Simply put, the closer something comes to ourselves, the closer it becomes someone, and the stronger we will feel about actions relating to it. Morality is literally in the 'judgment call' business.
